Niels Uljee's recruitment approach
Within Voltys, Niels Uljee focuses on recruitment and executive search for organizations within the building materials, technical products, and related installation technology markets.
His approach begins with understanding the organization, the product, the market position, and the objectives of the role. Next, it is determined at which companies and within which submarkets relevant professionals are active.
In doing so, Niels looks beyond just a job title or CV. Commercial style, technical affinity, personality, leadership, and alignment with the company culture also play an important role.
Understanding the organization
Gaining insight into products, customers, competitors, company culture, and commercial growth objectives.
Mapping the market
Targeted identification of relevant manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers, and professionals.
Sustainable matching
Assess whether experience, ambition, personality, and long-term goals fit the organization.
A strong network within building materials and technology
Many suitable candidates are not actively looking for another position. They do not browse job sites or send a CV of their own accord, but they may be open to a relevant next step.
With a professional LinkedIn network of over 17.000 connections, Niels has access to specialists, managers, and decision-makers within various parts of the building materials and engineering sector.
That network is not a substitute for a thorough search, but it does form an important basis for directly reaching professionals who are often not found through traditional job postings.
Active throughout the Netherlands from Breda and Utrecht
Voltys operates from Breda and Utrecht for clients and candidates throughout the Netherlands. These locations offer good connections to key construction, trade, and industrial regions.
However, the recruitment processes are not limited to the immediate vicinity of these branches. Depending on the position, organization, and available candidates, the entire Dutch market is explored.
Southern and Western Netherlands
A strong starting position for building materials companies, technical suppliers, and industrial organizations in Brabant, Zeeland, South Holland, and adjacent regions.

A central position for recruitment processes in the Central Netherlands, the Randstad, and other technical regions throughout the country.
From Easy-Select to specialized recruitment agency Voltys
Voltys builds on more than eighteen years of experience in recruitment and executive search. What started under the name Easy-Select has developed into a specialized recruitment agency for commercial, technical, and managerial positions.
Niels built his own recruitment experience at, among others, De Blécourt Werving en Advies, the agency that now operates as HNR. This background forms the basis for his people-oriented and market-oriented way of working.
Within Voltys, he works with a team of experienced headhunters. Each recruiter brings knowledge and their own network within specific technical markets and fields.
Why specialized recruitment makes the difference
The shortage of experienced commercial, technical, and managerial professionals makes it increasingly difficult to fill vacancies exclusively through regular recruitment channels.
A specialized recruiter knows the market, understands which companies sell similar products, and knows which career opportunities might be interesting for passively available candidates.
Market knowledge
Insight into product groups, distribution channels, competitors, and relevant organizations.
Targeted headhunting
Personal approach to professionals who are not actively seeking jobs, but are open to a suitable next step.
Technical concept
Understand which product knowledge, market knowledge, and technical affinity are necessary for a position.
Personal connection
Assess not only on experience, but also on leadership style, motivation, and organizational culture.
executive search
Confidential search for management, executive, and other strategically important positions.
Sustainable cooperation
Focused on a long-term placement that contributes to the development of both the candidate and the organization.
The right professionals for a changing construction market
Building materials companies and technical suppliers need professionals who can combine market knowledge, commercial acumen, technical understanding, and leadership.
From Breda and Utrecht, Voltys supports organizations throughout the Netherlands in finding these scarce professionals. The combination of specialized market knowledge, a targeted network, and personal headhunting makes it possible to look beyond the candidates who are actively applying.
With his experience and network within building materials and technical supply, Niels Uljee helps organizations find sustainable reinforcement for their team.
